• Add the /etc/services ﬁle to the lookup path your name lookup

service uses. For example, modify the nsswitch.conf ﬁle to refer to

Problems Installing Software that Depends on EMS

What is the problem? Running swinstall (1M) when installing products

such as HA Monitors, ServiceGuard and other products that have a

dependency on EMS.

It is possible that the product you are installing might include an older

version of EMS than the one that is installed on your system.

If you have installed EMS software with a later version number than the

version you are trying to install, you may see errors similar to the

following in the swinstall logﬁle, /var/adm/sw/swagent.log:

ERROR A later revision (one with a higher

revision number) of fileset

EMS-Core.EMS-CORE,r=A.03.20 has already

been installed. Either remove this fileset

or change the allow_downdate option to

true.

What is the workaround? If this occurs, choose to ignore the error

messages, change the Enforce Dependency Analysis Errors option to False,

and proceed with the installation.

NOTE Do not use the -x allow_downdate=true as suggested by the error

message. This would overwrite ﬁlesets installed on the system with older

ﬁlesets from the install media.

To change the Enforce Dependency Analysis Errors through the

command line by invoking Software Distributor enter the following

command:

# swinstall -x enforce_dependencies=false
